There is no way in hell you can get a DOT racing tire up to it's intended operating temp. on the street. It cracks me up when I see riders with dot racing tires on the street. {Hey their race tires, I'll go faster}. The tires on my street bike were shot and I was running low of coin, So I tried some of my race take off's {dunlop 208gp} on my street bike {2000 zx9}, and they scared the crap out of me. I went up the Mt. Saint Helen's road here in WA. it's about 30 miles of great twisty tarmac, On my street 207 ZR's I could really push and they stuck great. I would get a couple of mild rear wheel drifts, great fun. But the takeoff's never warmed up I tried to pick up the pace after going 5 or 6 miles and scared my self silly, had about a 10" slide with the front. After I stopped and changed underware, I rode very sedately back home and went to the bike shop, they said try the new street pirelli's. So I had them put some pirelli dragon evo's on. They are by the way great tires, I Like them better than the dunlop's. Oh the DOT take off's only had 4 10 lap {about 70 miles} races on them so they were not fried, They were about 1 month old. The morale of the story, Not a thing. If you use DOT racing tires of any brand on the street, make sure your insurance is paid up, eventually you'll need it
